According to scrolls that have been translated about this creature, this is what the great sphinx of ancient Egypt will turn into if you ask it too many questions it cannot answer. By modern terms, the creature has gone insane trying to figure out the answers of riddles like "What’s green, hangs on a wall, and whistles?" and "If you’ve got it, you can’t share it; but if you don’t have it, you want it to be shared. What is it?" The sphinx will stop eating and drinking and will eventually wither away into this creature as it obsessively tries to figure out what the answers are.
Those unfortunate enough to stumble upon one deep in the heart of mythical Egypt will often be asked these riddles. Any answer given out of fear will be met with even more questions asking why that is the right answer. However, in its insane state, it has lost its ability to think logically. Even if the right answer to the riddle is presented, it will question it and begin to rant. This rant is said to drive anyone who listens to it equally insane. If one is able to avoid listening to these rants, the creature will fly away to ponder other potential answers to the riddles it cannot answer.
